Imari Ware Green Kouchi Gold Leaf Pine Needle Shaped Small Plate 18.5cm

An auspicious Imari-yaki small dish in the shape of a "pine needle," beautifully adorning festive dining tables

From the "Seihyo Kiln" of Imari-yaki comes a pine needle-shaped small dish featuring a beautiful contrast between vibrant green Kochi glaze and gold gilding. This exquisite piece, selected by the discerning eye of a specialist shop, brings elegant Japanese beauty to your dining table.

An elegant form reflecting the vitality of "pine," a symbol of good fortune

Since its leaves remain green all year round, "pine" has been cherished as a symbol of longevity and prosperity. The delicate three-dimensional texture carved along the overlapping pine needle silhouette and the gold gilding along the rim create an austere elegance. The vibrant color of the "green Kochi glaze," with its depth and luster, beautifully adorns festive dining tables.

The appeal of irregularly shaped dishes that beautifully enhance your plating

The asymmetrical design, reminiscent of a natural standing pine, naturally creates a "beauty of negative space" for your dishes. The 18.5cm width is perfect for serving Osechi-ryori for New Year's, assortments of sashimi or appetizers, or even just a single wagashi for a luxurious ryotei-like presentation. By simply adding one to a collection of round or square plates, it stands out as an accent for the entire dining table.
